Next Week at Hill West Key Question Week 1: What is life like outside the cave? Key Text for Linked Learning: The Croods Linked Learning: History, English, Art & Science This week children will be beginning their new topic all about the Stone Age. In History, children will begin to understand the chronology of the Stone Age era by creating a timeline and will look at some information about how they lived. Children will watch extracts of The Croods, in English, in preparation for writing letters between the characters. They will read different letters spending time learning different letter formats and styles such as formal and informal. This will prepare them to write their own informal letter to a friend to tell them all about what they have learnt so far about the Stone Age. In Science, children will continue learning about rocks. Children will continue to conduct investigations to reveal the properties of different rocks and brush up on their identifying skills. Children will explore art from the Stone Age and will make their own cave painting inspired by what they found out. This week children will also complete their termly PUMA and PIRA tests. Maths: This week, children will consolidate their learning so far this term with special focus on applying their skills in all four operations to problem solving tasks, preparing them to complete their termly assessment.
